hey guys i bought an R33 S2 last week. It has a front mount , boost controller , AFC Neo and SARD FPR with Walbro 255LPH in it , Recent dyno showed around 208RWKW. good buy for 14,000 with 90,000. I found it was running like 13.5 boost so i put it down to around 12 / 12.5psi and had it like that for 2 weeks . Went awsome until last night i was drivin home with my mates in car gettin up this steep hill. It was spinning the wheels so i punched it for some fun lol and then i just heard this massive f**kin wining sound it then my boost wouldnt go past 0. It blows smoke like a steam train after around 3000rpm or whenever you push the throttle all way in . Now is it bad to drive my car to work and back like this ?? and also does anyone have any SPECS or info about the VG30DET turbos they are selling at SSS for $250?? are they goin to be as good as my last turbo and will it make the same power

And a $250 turbo is like a $10 hooker, you don't know what you'll get, but you can bet it ain't no bargain. Expect to pay 4500 plus for a s/h and $1500 plus for a good turbo.

Not all blow jobs are the same!!!

as long as the heaps of people are warranting their opinions then there is nothing to lose. (i'm sure if anything goes wrong they will be there with their wallets out).

but if the compressor wheel is now rubbing on the housing and some something makes its way thru the intake.....

turbo gone = a good reason to consider parking it and replacing the turbo asap

i've had heaps of people say its safe to drive my car so what can really happen

And they are ur 15yr old sister?

Think about it, the turbo is rooted, and blowing oil.

Therefore loosing oil will cause a drop in oil pressure.

Low oil pressure = fked motor if it gets damaged too much

Even if you cant "see" it'll still be burning oil if you can see it anyhow

And then there is the above, with bits going through the motor... common logic fails some people

hey before you go off at people

go through the threads in Forced Induction Performance and you will find the names

R31nismoid and Guilt-toy alot.. these guys along with some others have helped many many SAU'ers

and if Guilt-toy can get his "line running on E85 >_< im sure he knows what he's talking about..

99.9% of people know driving on a blown turbo = very bad idea..

you asked for an opinion and you got them.. thats what the forums are for...But not all news is good news..

park it get a second hand rb25 turbo.. install it and drive again...

it depends what has f**ked up in your turbo,,,,, yes you can drive some turbos around that are blown with no probs..... but no you cannot drive every blown turbo without something else getting damaged...... its a risk you have to deide on,,,,,, we are on the forums, havent seen your car, havent seen what damge has been done..... maby your mechanic is right but what if hes wrong????

allot of people on this forum know quite a lot more than allot of mechanics around and some of them are mechanics on here...

for example i dont know guilt_toy from a bar of soap but from what ive worked out he is really into his car and experiments with it, this guy knows these cars inside out and if you are going to be online here asking for peoples help you will get straight answers from some of these guys... what you have to do is workout who the online worriors are and who genuwinely know what they are talking about....

and if your going to get offended by anyone who says anything you dont like then dont come onto the forum, i dont know why you got angry for?

and i know why you asked the original question.... because you are having doubts about your mechanics..... stick with your gut feeling and just dont drive the car unless you can afford to fix a f**ked engine..... end of the day its your choice....

PS: im sure the guys online are sorry to give their unbiased opinion to a fellow skyline owner even if he isnt an SAU member...

If you wanna be like that, go and talk with your 'mechanics'

Dont bother starting anymore threads and waste our time.

Thanks

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
